Thank you for sharing your feedback. We have heard from you and other customers in these areas about concerns with the changes. Upon review of local channels offered in these regions of Northern Ontario, we were informed by regulatory boards and these networks that the "provincial feed" was the preferred option for markets that do not have a local feed. In the case of Dryden, this happens to be the feeds from Toronto. Our product teams are continuing to review the situation and share the reported cases of affected customers, and it is possible that it may change again in the future. Sorry for any inconvenience caused, please continue to watch Service Outages & Updates for further news about any changes.

My friend has been phoning around, emailing contacting people and he just heard back from a head communications programmer from Shaw in Toronto and they ARE putting CBC and CTV Winnipeg back where they were. Hopefully Shaw can update there info on that channel listings update from Sept.28 and update all their tech support people when you call in. This person told my friend it will happen next week on Thursday so better late then never. Centarl time zone feeds had alot to do with it and the fact Dryden is 4 hrs from Winnipeg and so much more local. They might keep Toronto as well which is fine sometimes Eastern is okay and different programs etc but we need Winnipeg! Ill be watching Thursday for sure. Big thanks to my friend and to that Shaw head programmer/communications person in Toronto who was involved with the removal and now reinstatement of those channels. She rocks! THANK YOU!

That's awesome news if it's true @soaringeagle ! Thanks to you and your friend for persisting. It just seems like a classic case of "if you're in Ontario, you must be close to Toronto". I've talked to people in Toronto that think I'm kidding them when I tell them we're in the central time zone. I can't wait until Thursday - sure have been missing the Winnipeg news.

the lady my friend talked to was the same one that sat in on the decision to remove (i think) but she did go to the board , the people involved and there was talks and she said Dryden needs these channels back. It had to do with Central, 4 hrs away and i think she mentioned cbc winnipeg has been on for years and years. So they made the decision to put back but has to be Thursday. CTV Winnipeg as well. Shaw employee on the phone once said you are closer to Toronto I was like WHAT! ?

So yeah great news. Nice to see local news and catch the weather on the maps. Im from Winnipeg as well born there lived there a bit travel there often so its like neighbours. Pass the word on its coming back.

Awesome! and CBC Winnipeg back on as well! Watched the news this morning and NW ontario weather was mentioned as always . BIG Thanks to that lady in Toronto! as well as Shaw for listening and to all the people that complained. Watched the supper hour news this evening. AWESOME! been missing the news and anchors. Thanks again Shaw , lady in Toronto and everyone involved.

Thank you again everyone for your feedback. We're happy to confirm that early morning yesterday (Thursday, October 12th) we've been able to revert the changes for CBC and CTV in the Dryden area back to the Winnipeg feeds. Sorry again for any inconvenience caused during the time the feed was switched.
